Intermediate transfer member for transfer ink jet recording

An intermediate transfer member for transfer ink jet recording comprising:

• a surface layer;
• a buffer layer;
• and
• a compression layer,
• wherein the intermediate transfer member is used in a transfer ink jet recording method that includes a step of forming an intermediate image by applying an ink on an image-forming surface of an intermediate transfer member with an ink jet device and a step of transferring the intermediate image to a recording medium from the image-forming surface by pressing the intermediate image against the recording medium,
• wherein the surface layer, the buffer layer, and the compression layer are formed in that order from the image-forming surface side,
• wherein the thickness of the surface layer is 0.01 μm or more and 2.0 μm or less,
• wherein a compression modulus (E1) of the surface layer is 300 MPa or more and 10000 MPa or less,
• wherein a compression modulus (E2) of the buffer layer is 0.5 MPa or more and 30.0 MPa or less, and
• wherein E1, E2, and a compression modulus (E3) of the compression layer satisfy formula (I) below
• (E1/10)>E2>E3 Formula (1).
